Sightseeing
Beautiful sunrises and Sunsets here. Free boat ramp access but there are better ramps close by for larger boats. You will also find a Playground, pavilion, and a beach. Lately the water levels have been a bit high so beach access may be limited.
This location is a very short drive up the road. It is even walkable for those who enjoy a nice hike.

Fishing
Short 10 minute drive to pristine boat ramps for access to Lake Erie boating/fishing. Sorry no boat or skidoo rentals available. Local fishing charters can be found here.
This location also includes beach access, picnic areas, public bathrooms, trails, and if you time your visit right you will get to enjoy annual fish fry’s or various other events held at the yacht club.
Beautiful place to enjoy the lake if you’re a water enthusiast.
(*Pro tip for boat ramps; use the ones on the opposite side of the marina from the food booth. The break wall on that side allows for much calmer waters than the other ramps.)
